Review on Siam Brasserie

Experience the delights of Thai food in a 17th century English cottage which has been complimented by authentic Thai architecture, achieved through the extensive use of carved woodwork, intended to create the atmosphere of an authentic Thai Teak house.

The Siam Brasserie's chefs trained in one of Bangkok's leading hotels. Their aim is to offer a very high standard of presentation and flavour in the food they serve. They use only the finest herbs and spices.

The menu is vast but for those who are new to Thai food the friendly and professional staff dressed in traditional Thai costume, are always on hand to help you in your selection.

    Disappointing

    I have been to this restaurant many times in the past and always had a good, although expensive meal.

    On my last visit, I was very disappointed. The food was not nearly as good as in the past and lots of the key ingredients were missing - eg no tofu in the tofu stir fry. When we complained, the waitress was very rude. I won't be returning!
